Anjeanette, of RootsAndWingsCo made this adorable apple garland out of felt and material. It was a simple project that even those who say they can't sew-can do! (As long as you can thread your needle.)

Your execution is utterly charming. I think it would do for a very nice mobile as well.

Cute! I like the felt-on-fabric technique. Oh, and if you reply directly to Lemonie's comment he'll get a notification. ;)
